Thanks for the comments people. I will re-crop the 3rd one to remove the edge of those buildings, completely missed that, thanks for pointing that out. I dont do cloning.....i try to use my digi as i would a film camera.....a tool for capturing an image of what was there, rather than hiding things with cloning.....just a self discipline thing i have got in to.....makes me take more time on a shot or just become plain picky. The 4th one...the sky is VERY light......but on my home and work monitors doesnt seem blown out, very feint cloud trails are visable from top to bottom. Does vary from machine to machine tho.
